HelpGreek and Roman Mythology
I've recently really got back into my Mythology names... I first made the list when studying Class. Civ. I'm wondering if any are usable? Especially my favourites. It is hard work working them into combos though. Are there any you like?

I like a good deal of these, but I don't think they'd be feasable. Caligula, for instance, has some very ugly connotations (aside from the real history, there's a pretty well known semi-pornographic film about him). Any of the more well known gods (Apollo, Hera, any of the Olympians, really) fall into this catergory, too.
I really like Io, Jove, Aurora, Clio, Camilla, Echo, Atlas, Chryses and Diomedes. Girl's names would be easier to get away with. Eros is lovely, but it has some pretty bad associations as well.

My favourites:
Achilles - I love this one.
Ajax - I must say I like this one. It's like the new/old evolution of the ever-popular "Jack"
Atlas - I like this but fear that any Atlas would constantly be educating the ignorant about his mythological name and that he wasn't named after a book of maps OR a bodybuilding company.
Caligula - This one I would steer clear of...evil/crazy Emperors are a heck of a namesake!
Jove^ - I am fond of the strength and simplicity of this. I'd pronounce it just like it's spelled, like "By Jove, I think he's got it" because that is how everyone else would. Is it wrong of me to think it would make a kick-butt girl's name too??
Odysseus - Looove it
Paris* - Sorry, but the Hilton socialite has ruined this one for me forever :(
Patroclus* - I am surprised at how much I like this. It's like Patrick...but classical.
Zephyr* - Adore it, it looks like the name of a future avant-garde artist or something :)
Girls
Aurora
Camilla - Both Camilla and Aurora are such classic beauties.
Carya^* - Lovely, but looks a tad too trendy for me to appreciate it fully.
Circe - Once I figured out how to correctly pronounce this, it became a GP for me. It positively rings with ancient magic.
Clio - One of my faves...it saddens me that I could never use it because it is so similar to my own name, it would look too cutesy.
Dido* - The singer helped me to discover an appreciate this name. At first, I thought it looks clumsy, but it's got a quiet grace to it.
